April 5th -Oscar Night
It would have been so much
easier to hate Julie Andrews if
she had clomped on stage look-
ing like Wallace Beery, with a
sly little sneer on her face and
an acceptance speech like "I
knew I'd win; I was great! "Bur
instead she sat peaceful as a
kitten all evening, looking
like Cinderella and paying tri-
bute to the American people
for making her feel so welcome.
It would be nice to think that
Julie Andrews got the Oscar for
her performance, for she is ex-
tremely talented. But acting
doesn't always turn the trick
anymore. Julie won public
sympathy, which in turn won
her an Oscar. She was obvious-
ly thrilled, but perhaps when
she comes to her senses she will
realize how unfortunate her
night of glory really was. After
all, if you win an Oscar for
your first motion picture what's
left? Where can you go but
down? And often Oscar -winners
find their good roles are few
and far between after being the
big toad in the puddle on Oscar
night.
It was another dazzling af-
fair for Hollywood. The stars
were out in full force, with
teased hair, gorgeous gowns
and sparkling diamonds, white
ties and tails. A nice change
this year was the appearance
of so many older stars. The
younger, busier ones are mak-
ing so many pictures away
from home that Holly' d would
be a ghost -town were it not
for these older performers. And
isn't it funny? With the excep-
tion of Angie Dickenson, who
always looks like a dream
walking, and Elizabeth Ashley
in her first Oscar appearance,
it was the 'first ladies of the
screen' who stole the show.
Greer Garson and Joan Craw-
ford looked like queens. Ann -
Margaret showed up with her
new beau, Roger Smith, and
Jane Fonda and Brigette Bar -
dot's ex-husband, Roger Va-
dim, who are expected to wed
any day were also interviewed
as they arrived for the festivi-
ties.
"My Fair Lady", the favor-
ite all along, led honors with
eight awards, among them
best color costuming, best mu-
sical score (adaptation), cine-
matography and art direction.
It also won an Oscar for direc-
tor George Cukor, actor Rex
Harrison who portrayed the
male lead of Professor Henry
Higgins, and it was named
best picture of the year, de-
feating "Becker", "Mary Pop-
pins", "Zorba The Greek", and
'Tis
Show Biz
"Dr. Strangelove". Harrison,
by his win, spoiled the fun for
Richard Burton and Peter 0'
Toole, both nominated for
roles in "Becket", Peter Sellers
for " Dr. Strangelove", and
Anthony Quinn of 'Zorba', and
also added new irony for it was
opposite Julie Andrews that he
first acquired fame as Higgins
in the stage production of "My
Fair Lady". Julie, in the title
role of "Mary Poppins", de-
feated Debbie Reynolds of"The
Unsinkable Molly Brown", Anne
Bancroft ("The Pumpkin Eater"),
Kim Stanley ("Seance on a
Wet Afternoon"), and Sophia
Loren for "Marriage, Italian
Style". But more than ever, it
was obvious that Audrey I-Iep-
burn should have been awarded
her own special Oscar, if not
for her performance in 'MFL',
then for the courage she dis-
played --for showing up in the
first place; when the lights and
cameras were thrust into her
face at every opportunity; and
throughout the difficult mo-
ments of presenting the Oscar
to grateful co-star Rex Harrison
who admitted he would like to
share it with her. At this time
the emotional strain almost
seemed too great for her.
Nominated songs were sung
by The New Christy Minstrels
("Chim, Chim Cher-ee" from
'Mary Poppins'), Jack Jones
(" Where Love Has Gone"),
Nancy Wilson ("My Kind of
Town" from Robin and the 7
Hoods), Patti Page ("Hush...
Hush, Sweet Charlotte") and
Andy Williams ("Dear Heart").
The latter, a Hank Mancini
masterpiece from the picture
of the same name, was passed
in favor of the Mary Poppins
number. Other musical num-
bers were by Peter Gennaro
who has danced much better
than in the tribute to old mu-
sicals; and Judy Garland who
cannot now do justice to the
Cole Porter melodies that made
her famous. Judy is looking
fine again, but her amount of
nerve now greatly exceeds her
amount of talent. Bob Hope
was back as emcee, but some
of his jokes fell flat. He should
read more about the Ecumeni-
cal Council, too, or watch his
cue card more closely. I sup-
pose he could be a total flop
though, and it still wouldn't
be Oscar night without him;
he's that kind of guyl
"Mary Poppins" received
five awards for visual effects,
original music score, and edit-
ing, besides best actress and
song. Others winning various
awards were "Goldfinger",
"Night of the Iguana" (costum-
ing). " Zorba the Greek" (3rd
with 3 awards) "Becket" and
"Father Goose", Peter Ustinov
of "Topkapi" was named best
supporting actor; Lila Kedrova,
a sweet little European doll,
won as best supporting actress
for her role in 'Zorba', and
"Yesterday, Today, and To-
morrow", an Italian picture,
was named best foreign movie.
Martha Raye and Jimmy Dur -
ante added some priceless hum-
or to the show, Alain Delon, a
French newcomer, and Tony
Franciosa were the most at
ease, Deborah Kerr the most
tense and nervous. A moment
of silence and a lump in Bob
Hope's throat came with the
reading of a good -luck tele-
gram from last year's winner, .
Pat Neal, who is lying para-
lyzed in Hollywood after suf-
fering a series of strokes last
month.

our farm animals are being re-

wonderful to see them kicking
their heels in the April sun-

they are making more work for
their owners, who are finding
it necessary to repair old fences
or erect new ones!
